“With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King.

“You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before-colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.” ThinkingMayMeanHomeMemoriesExistenceCreativityTalentCreationKeysLimitsPaperLaughterGardenBoundsPianoAssumptionPensCanvasBrushesSheetsHarmoniousColorfulFalse AssumptionsFamily Memories Author:Dieter F.

“The progress of science in furnishing the government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wire tapping. Ways may some day be developed by which the government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions. 'That places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer' was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these.” WayMayHomeGovernmentSecretSecurityPaperCourtIntimateSomedayPapersJuryDrawers Author:Louis D.

“I think the hardest thing to teach a student is that what he or she puts down on paper is changeable.

“In collage you're doing it in stages so you're not actually doing it right there. You first of all draw it on the paper, then you cut it up, then you paste it down, then you change it, then you shove it about, then you may paint bits of it over, so actually you're not making the picture there and then, you're making it through a process, so it's not so spontaneous.” FirstsMayBitsProcessCuttingStagePaperDrawsPaintSpontaneousCollages Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
“Say did you read in the papers about a bunch of Women up in British Columbia as a protest against high taxes, sit out in the open naked, and they wouldent put their clothes on? The authorities finally turned a Sprayer that you use on trees, on 'em. That may lead into quite a thing. Woman comes into the tax office nude, saying I won't pay.
